Talks
have broken down between Leeds and Chelsea over midfielder Tyler Adams after
the clubs were unable to reach an agreement, Sky Sports News understands.
Chelsea were closing in on signing the USA international after meeting the
£20m release clause in his contract.
One source told Sky Sports News on Thursday that Adams was set to have a
medical in the next 24 hours ahead of a move to Stamford Bridge.
But Adams is now expected to return to Leeds where he has four years left on
his current deal.
Adams signed for Leeds from RB Leipzig for a fee of around £20m last summer
but suffered relegation with the club in his first season.
Chelsea want to sign two midfielders before the transfer window closes on
September 1 and made a £48m bid for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia on
Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Moises Caicedo has seemingly rejected the chance to join
Liverpool and wants to move to Chelsea, despite the Reds agreeing a
British-record £111m fee with Brighton.
Brighton value Caicedo - who missed their final pre-season friendly against
Rayo Vallecano on Sunday amid speculation over his future - at £100m.
